THE
NAME GAME
Circle, circle, circle 'round.
Let's all sit down on the ground.
Let's all play a real fun game,
While we learn each others names.

Here's a ball, I'll roll to you.
When you catch it, here's what you do.
Say your name, loud and clear, (Child who catches ball, says his/her
name.)
Then we all clap and cheer. (Everyone claps and says "Yea")

Then roll the ball, to someone new.
They will catch it just like you.
They will also say their name. (New child who catches ball, says
his/her name.)
That is how we play this game. (Continue playing game.)
